Pole Saw Information
SAW CHAIN TENSION
WARNING:Unplug chain saw from power source before adjusting saw chain
tension. Severe injury or death could occur from body contact with moving
chain.
WARNING: Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective gloves when
handling chain.
WARNING: When cleaning saw body:-
• do not submerge saw in any liquids
• do not use products that contain ammonia, chlorine, or abrasives
• do not use chlorinated cleaning solvents, carbon tetrachloride, kerosene, or
gasoline
(Note: The saw chain tension is properly set at the factory. A new chain will stretch.
Check new chain tension frequently (after disconnecting
the plug from the power
source) during the first 2 hours of operation. Allow chain to cool down. Follow steps
below to check saw chain tension.)
1. Unplug chain saw from power source.
2. Place chain saw on a firm surface to check chain tension.
3. Pull chain with light force 1/8" away from bottom of guide bar and release (
See
Figure 3
). If chain lightly snaps back into place, tension is correct. A slight sag (1/16"
or less) between chain and bottom of guide bar is acceptable.
